| SUN LAKES LIFESTYLES | JULY 2018 | 37 I hope to see all of you at the Fourth of July parade here at Sun Lakes. What a wonderful community we have, our very own parade. Come in your cart and park on Country Club or bring some chairs. This is a fun event for everyone. Our next meeting and support group will be on Thurs., July 19 at 10 am in the Main Clubhouse Multipurpose Room. There is no guest speaker this month. This will give you more time for the much needed support group. As a caregiver, you are no good to your loved one if you don't take care of yourself. Please make time to attend. ALL caregivers are welcome. We are here to support and educate you, plus entertain your loved one while you attend the meeting. Drop your loved one off in the Arts and Crafts Room for an hour of live entertainment, exercise, fun and games. All of the volunteers caring for your loved one has had a family member with dementia and have experience dealing with this disease. Anyone who has a talent they would be willing to share with our patient group in the Arts and Crafts Room, please call me, Anne, at 845-8700. If you have any questions and would like to learn more about Memory Loss, we have reading material we can loan you. Call Diane, 769-0130 or Anne, 845-8700. Remember, we are here to help. Helpful hints for preventing CAREGIVER BURNOUT. To make life more comfortable for you and your loved one, build more structure into your days and let go of some of your expectations.
